Farewell

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I announce that I cease all development and activity in the programming universe indefinitely. My career has reached the turning point I was not expecting for at least another year, leaving me highly off guard and without laid-out plans for this hobby's continuity. I have begun a 5-year residency program in Neurosurgery which is clearly not compatible, time-wise, with programming.

I gave in all my passion for developing, and you gave me back your loyalty and trust, even when I did not deserve that much. Now it is the time for payback. I release all my present and past work as Open Source software, in the hope some talented developer will continue maintaining and expanding my vision of a modern, sleek forum software. The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.

I hereby thank Euan, kawaii, andrewjs18, Ben, Matt, Omar G., effone, Eric J., Devilshakerz, Wildcard, JordanMussi and all the other team members I have had the opportunity to work with when I was a MyBB team member. I thank Tomm M, my mentor, who inspired me to pick up coding with his piece-of-art plugins. And finally, I thank all of you MyBBoost subscribers who have helped me getting through my toughest university years economically.

Yours sincerely, Filippo

Dropzone allows movies with Imgur

This issue is marked as solved
Not live with Dropzone 1.2 yet, still testing. With Imgur upload enabled, I'm able to upload movies (*.mp4). Which we definitely don't want, nor are there any Imgur share links produced. I note file types unsupported by Imgur default to the classic attach system. Any way to restrict file types even if Imgur accepts them?

PS: Thanks for your efforts with both these products and your other work. Well done sir.

cheers...

The file is not uploaded to Imgur nor your server and the errors come from MyBB. It's just weird that it doesn't display an "invalid mimetype" error, which it does for me when I try. This definitely requires a debugging session, so as soon as you go live, hit me up.

That's perfect Shade, can't ask for any more than that.

Might've found the problem, pluginlibrary out of date (12). Upgraded to 13 and first tests seem correct.

Leaving account in place pending your feedback.

It does work now. However, PluginLibrary shouldn't really make a difference.
